Serial ATA is a storage interface that is compliant with
SATA 1.0 specification. It supports speed of up to 3Gb/
s. Serial ATA improves hard drive performance faster
than the standard parallel ATA whose data transfer rate
is 100MB/s.
The Intel ICH10R chip allows configuring RAID on Serial
ATA devices. It supports RAID 0, RAID 1, RAID 0+1 and
RAID 5.
The JMicron JMB368 chip is a PCI Express to PATA
host controller that supports up to two UltraDMA
100Mbps IDE devices.
The Realtek RTL8111C PCI Express Gigabit LAN con-
troller supports up to 1Gbps data rate.
CMOS Reloaded is a technology that allows storing multi-
ple user-defined BIOS settings by using the BIOS utility to
save, load and name the settings. This is especially useful
to overclockers who require saving a variety of
overclocked settings and being able to conveniently switch between
these settings simultaneously.
The options in Genie BIOS allows configuring the system
to optimize system performance and overclock capability.
The presence of the power switch and reset switch on
the system board are user-friendly especially to DIY us-
ers. They provide convenience in powering on and/or re-
setting the system while fine tuning the system board be-
fore it is installed into the system chassis.
